Andre Smith is back

[Jason 3,890]

Re-signed per Bengals.com. A couple of other minor moves but Andre is the main one. 

[fluhartz 2,138]

awesome 

[Le Tigre 2,315]

Always nice to have Andre around. 

[Jason 3,890]

He is at least better depth at tackle than what was on the roster. 

[T-Dub 7,446]

Was he the best free agent OT still on the market, or just the most familiar? 

[|kennethmw| 1,302]

Cool!  May not know the staff, but he knows the other players.

[Hooky 1,896]

I actually don't hate this. Bad penny. Always turns up.

Shocker

No question. 

[|High School Harry| 2,869]

So I guess they are admitting the Bobby Hart experiment failed.

Glad he's back.

They're admitting Glenn hasn't made it through a full season in years.  Hart is only 24, I'd bet RT is still his job to lose.

This.

 

The club has also been fairly transparent in their belief Hart can play multiple positions along the line.

 

This was a general tackle depth move across the board. At this point I don’t think anyone would be surprised if Bobby suffered a season ending broken jaw from over-sized sandwich day at the local Jersey Mike’s.

Grab-ass PFF stats aside they're pretty much the same guy only Hart is 8 years younger.

And over 5 times as expensive.

True but what the hell, they aren't going to spend it on an upgrade in free agency & they're well under the cap either way.  How much they pay guys doesn't really mean much to me otherwise.

[BENGALS666 138]

The line is 37% more jiggly now..

[esjbh2 459]

I still can't get that combine image outta my head all these years later. 

[claptonrocks 119]

This offensive line is horruble by nfl standards..

Glenn is average at best..At Best!

Price hasnt done a thing...i kno injuries

Blah blah....my arms are longer than his..

Hart??.....hahaha...line jumper ya know?

Westerman??..hes a backup for a reason..

Andre Smith to the rescue?? You know better..

This O-line looks pretty bad. I doubt Turner is a better O-line coach than his predecessor. So the Bengals cast of skilled ball handlers might be less productive than expected.

We're about to find out, at least.  

[Inigo Montoya 342]

Turner is under the microscope right from the jump but you can't say he's been lucky so far.  Losing two starters before training camp even starts is a tough hand to be dealt, but Taylor wanted Turner for the job despite his checkered past. I don't think he gets a pass because of the injuries but I also don't think Taylor will drop him this soon even if we wish he would.
